I’m not sure what’s going on with this particular app, but there are many other ways to use iBeacons with SmartThings.
The set up will be a little more complex, but it can work very reliably, at least if you have an iPhone. Essentially as long as you have a receiving app that can do HTTP posts, you can either use the IFTTT maker channel or write directly to a SmartThings end point.
As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I use the IFTTT method with the Beecon+ app to create a Detection zone consisting just of the wheelchair ramp to my front door. That way my house doesn’t think that I’m home when I’m still on the bus out front.
